Winery Happenings
The bottling season is upon us with July activities in both California and Texas.
- July 5th through 7th - John and Bryan are in California bottling our reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, both Zinfandels, and Pinot Noir.
- July 19th (Tuesday) and 20th (Wednesday) - all hands on deck for 2 full days of bottling (approximately 1700 cases of both reds and whites). Due to the extreme heat and strenuous activity we will be having shorter work shifts. Note: all volunteer positions are outside, require standing, and lifting cases of wine that weigh up to 40 or 50 pounds. There is no parking at 18B where we are bottling. Below is a link to a video to get an idea of some of the volunteer stations needed during bottling.
TOUR OF TURKEY
Food & Wine Pairing Event
July 26th 6:30 to 8:30
Join us for an evening of fun and education as we learn about Turkish appetizers from Gulay Akkus Nart. Gulay is from Turkey but now lives in Cedar Park and we are excited for you to meet her and taste her wonderful appetizers. We will be sharing the following 5 courses throughout the evening where Gulay will explain the ingredients and traditions around each dish and Mr. Winemaker will be discussing the great wine pairings for each course.
